Wimbledon'I want to finish on my own terms' — Murray plays down Wimbledon retirement talkYESTERDAY AT 07:47 He now has his sights set on a deep run at Wimbledon, and has said he doesn’t expect this to be his last appearance at the Grand Slam. “It just seems to me like he really enjoys it and loves the competition,” said Eurosport expert Robson. “He loves playing, and that's enough for some people to keep going.

And he's won everything there is to win, almost. And he really is playing just because he wants to be out there. “I hate this feeling of trying to retire people before they're ready.

We've seen it so often with Serena [Williams] and Venus [Williams] and other champions just let them play for as long as they want to. “He's clearly doing well enough to just be outside of the top 32 seeds without a huge amount of tennis under his belt when you look at how almost little he played over the last year. So really the last few months is the only time that he's been healthy enough to get some consistent tennis in.
